Shock absorber help!!

Post by Abcd1234! »

Hello guys,

I have a 2011 VW Passat Sport Blue Tech TDI S-A
2.0 TDI 170bhp Auto SALOON

I am looking at changing all 4 shocks, front and rear.
However there seems to be 2 variants showing as compatible with my car, “Standard” and “Sport” suspension.

Please can anyone help me identify which one I need for my vehicle as don’t want to buy the wrong ones.

The part number on the old ones isn’t visible.

Are the standard and sport ones interchangeable? I am not looking to do any sporty driving as such, mainly motorways use and would prefer the more comfortable option from the 2.

I’m assuming the top mounts ect will all be the same with the 2 variants, are the springs different between the 2?

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
